Noise Reduction for tape hiss.

Stardust 201 is a hot-rodded interpretation of the classic Roland "Space Echo" tape echo effects of the 70s and 80s.

Just to be clear: Cherry Audio perfectly copied how the original hardware sounds and this is what a lot of people in fact want! But being able to turn off the "white noise" in the background would be a plus, an additional feature. I assume it is not simple white noise, but rather it is based on some complex algorithm that comes with the tape echo effect.

Was just about to buy Stardust and came here for a little user feedback. I'm astounded to read that apparently the tape hiss effect is still there and cannot be turned off. If this is true, then I'll go somewhere else for a Space Echo plugin.

I mean, sure. But the noise is very loud, and if you rack up a number of instances it becomes extremely annoying. It's 2024, noise should not be mandatory :)
